Lukas Carlson ’22 recently had his work shared as cover art for Volume One News, marking his second feature as a cover artist for the magazine. The painting, Rosalie, features a woman breaking up into abstract geometric shapes as she stares at the viewer.

In an interview about the piece, Carlson explains, “I create paintings that feel familiar, using patterns and features that resemble the human form, such as eyes, nose, mouth or other points of convergence. My paintings are pieced and puzzled compilations of these features, mirroring that which is intimate.”

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
